It is an object to provide a portable coordinates input apparatus which can be manufactured at low costs. An input pen applies a voltage to a desired position in a coordinate input area on a vibration propagating plate having a piezoelectric performance and having a first surface including the coordinate input area and a second area that faces the first surface. A vibration generated by the voltage is detected as an electric signal by a vibration detecting electrode arranged out of the coordinate input area.

A high-precision coordinate input apparatus having a small circuit construction. A vibrating pen transmits vibration onto a vibration transmitting tablet, then vibration sensors provided at corners of the vibration transmitting tablet detect the vibration. One of the vibration sensor is used as a reference sensor. Time difference between vibration detecting timing by this reference sensor and detecting timing by one of the other sensors is measured. This measurement is performed on all the vibration sensors with respect to the reference sensor. The obtained time differences are converted into distance differences for calculation of the coordinates of the position in which the vibration has been generated. The vibrating pen has a power source and it operates independent of the apparatus main body. The vibrating pen changes its frequency of vibration in accordance with the voltage of the power source. The apparatus main body captures this change in the vibration frequency and obtain the state of the vibration pen power source.

A distance measuring device is capable, even utilizing the Lamb wave with velocity fluctuating from device to device, of easily setting an approximate wave velocity and of effecting precise distance calculation even with such approximate wave velocity. There is employed a system of measuring the thickness d of the wave transmitting plate, then determining the group velocity Vg of the Lamb wave from the measured thickness, then determining the phase velocity Vp of the Lamb wave from the plate thickness d and the frequency f of the Lamb wave, and deriving the distance from Vg, Vp and the arrival delay time of the Lamb wave.

When vibration is entered on a vibration transmitting tablet, the vibration is sensed by vibration sensors attached at four corners of the tablet. When this is done, a time delay from entry of the vibration to detection thereof is measured, and the distance between each sensor and the source of the vibration is calculated in dependence upon the time delay. At this time the vibration sensors also sense reflected waves resulting from reflection of the vibration at the end face of the tablet. The larger the angle of reflection, the greater the magnitude of the reflected waves sensed. Accordingly, sensors most likely to sense reflected waves are excluded from calculation, and coordinates are calculated based upon vibration sensed by the remaining sensors only. As a consequence, a discontinuity in coordinates occurs at the boundary of a region decided by whichever of the sensors are excluded. For this reason, a weighted mean is computed of a set of coordinates calculated based upon data obtained from a set of a plurality of sensors, and the value of the weighted mean is adopted as the coordinates sought.

A coordinate input apparatus and a coordinate inputting method are provided, in which any influence on display images by coordinate information recorded on a coordinate plate can be extremely reduced and excellent operation of input indication is enabled without being disturbed by the coordinate information. A coordinate input apparatus includes a coordinate plate having plural pieces of coordinate information recorded thereon and a pen, or input-indicator, for indicating a desired position of the coordinate plate so as to detect coordinate information in the vicinity of the position and for indicating a position to be input. Coordinate values are determined from the coordinate information detected by the input-indicator so as to determine a coordinate value of the coordinate in the position to be input on the basis of the coordinate values and to input the coordinate value.

A connecting pin pivotally connects together the first frame and the second frame of a process cartridge including the first frame supporting an electrophotographic photosensitive drum and a second frame supporting a developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, and detachably mountable to the main body of an image forming apparatus. The pin is formed of a metallic hollow material, having slits defined by opposed edges of the metal material, and has formed on the metallic hollow material a restraining portion having a leading end as a bending proximal base with respect to the direction of insertion of the connecting pin and an outwardly extending trailing end.

The present invention relates to information processing apparatus and methods and, more particularly, to information processing apparatus and methods making use of a 3D model (3D shape) prepared by 3D-CAD. For adding attribute information (distances, angles, hole diameters, dimensional tolerances, etc.) to the 3D model, it becomes harder to recognize the shape of the 3D model and the attribute information on a display screen with increase in the added information. Thus each visual axis direction (attribute arrangement plane) is set for the 3D model prepared and attribute information is inputted so as to be opposed to the attribute arrangement plane thus set. When the set attribute arrangement plane is then specified, the opposed attribute information, together with the shape of the 3D model set, is displayed on the display screen. Names of attribute arrangement planes are arranged so as to avoid overlap thereof on the display screen, thereby suppressing deterioration of visibility. Each attribute arrangement plane has a frame and the attribute information is placed within the frame.

The board-writing apparatus of the present invention uses an end-having sheet member as a member for writing and indication. The sheet member is received into a receiving portion by one end thereof being taken up and is taken out for use from the receiving portion as required. The image information on the sheet member is read out by the read-out optical system of the apparatus body by the utilization of the movement of the sheet member into and out of the apparatus. The read-out image information is output as image information by a printer integral with or separate from the apparatus.
